protein production
Abstract
This invention relates to novel lactams having the Formula (I):
##STR1## to their pharmaceutical compositions and to their methods
of use. These novel compounds inhibit the processing of amyloid
precursor protein and, more specifically, inhibit the production of
A.beta.-peptide, thereby acting to prevent the formation of
neurological deposits of amyloid protein. More particularly, the
present invention relates to the treatment of neurological
disorders related to .beta.-amyloid production such as Alzheimer's
disease and Down's Syndrome.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel lactams substituted by cyclic
succinates having drug and bio-affecting properties, their
pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use. These novel
compounds inhibit the processing of amyloid precursor protein and,
more specifically, inhibit the production of A.beta.-peptide,
thereby acting to prevent the formation of neurological deposits of
amyloid protein. More particularly, the present invention relates
to the treatment of neurological disorders related to
.beta.-amyloid production such as Alzheimer's disease and Down's
Syndrome.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disorder
characterized clinically by progressive loss of memory, temporal
and local orientation, cognition, reasoning, judgment and
emotionally stability. AD is a common cause of progressive dementia
in humans and is one of the major causes of death in the United
States. AD has been observed in all races and ethnic groups
worldwide, and is a major present and future health problem. No
treatment that effectively prevents AD or reverses the clinical
symptoms and underlying pathophysiology is currently available (for
review see Dennis J. Selkoe; Cell Biology of the amyloid
(beta)-protein precursor and the mechanism of Alzheimer's disease,
Annu Rev Cell Biol, 1994, 10: 373-403).
Histopathological examination of brain tissue derived upon autopsy
or from neurosurgical specimens in effected individuals revealed
the occurrence of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillar tangles in the
cerebral cortex of such patients. Similar alterations were observed
in patients with Trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), and hereditary
cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis of the Dutch-type.
Neurofibrillar tangles are nonmembrane-bound bundles of abnormal
proteinaceous filaments and biochemical and immunochemical studies
led to the conclusion that their principle protein subunit is an
altered phosphorylated form of the tau protein (reviewed in Selkoe,
1994).
Biochemical and immunological studies revealed that the dominant
proteinaceous component of the amyloid plaque is an approximately
4.2 kilodalton (kD) protein of about 39 to 43 amino acids. This
protein was designated A.beta., .beta.-amyloid peptide, and
sometimes .beta./A4; referred to herein as A.beta.. In addition to
its deposition in amyloid plaques, A.beta. is also found in the
walls of meningeal and parenchymal arterioles, small arteries,
capillaries, and sometimes, venules. A.beta. was first purified and
a partial amino acid reported in 1984 (Glenner and Wong, Biochem.
Biophys. Res. Commun. 120: 885-890). The isolation and sequence
data for the first 28 amino acids are described in U.S. Pat. No.
4,666,829.
Compelling evidence accumulated during the last decade revealed
that A.beta. is an internal polypeptide derived from a type 1
integral membrane protein, termed .beta. amyloid precursor protein
(APP). .beta. APP is normally produced by many cells both in vivo
and in cultured cells, derived from various animals and humans.
A.beta. is derived from cleavage of .beta. APP by as yet unknown
enzyme (protease) system(s), collectively termed secretases.
The existence of at least four proteolytic activities has been
postulated. They include .beta. secretase(s), generating the
N-terminus of A.beta., .alpha. secretase(s) cleaving around the
16/17 peptide bond in A.beta., and .gamma. secretases, generating
C-terminal A.beta. fragments ending at position 38, 39, 40, 42, and
43 or generating C-terminal extended precursors which are
subsequently truncated to the above polypeptides.
Several lines of evidence suggest that abnormal accumulation of
A.beta. plays a key role in the pathogenesis of AD. Firstly,
A.beta. is the major protein found in amyloid plaques. Secondly,
A.beta. is neurotoxic and may be causally related to neuronal death
observed in AD patients. Thirdly, missense DNA mutations at
position 717 in the 770 isoform of .beta. APP can be found in
effected members but not unaffected members of several families
with a genetically determined (familiar) form of AD. In addition,
several other .beta. APP mutations have been described in familiar
forms of AD. Fourthly, similar neuropathological changes have been
observed in transgenic animals overexpressing mutant forms of human
.beta. APP. Fifthly, individuals with Down's syndrome have an
increased gene dosage of .beta. APP and develop early-onset AD.
Taken together, these observations strongly suggest that A.beta.
depositions may be causally related to the AD.
It is hypothesized that inhibiting the production of A.beta. will
prevent and reduce neurological degeneration, by controlling the
formation of amyloid plaques, reducing neurotoxicity and,
generally, mediating the pathology associated with A.beta.
production. One method of treatment methods would therefore be
based on drugs that inhibit the formation of A.beta. in vivo.
Methods of treatment could target the formation of A.beta. through
the enzymes involved in the proteolytic processing of .beta.
amyloid precursor protein. Compounds that inhibit .beta. or .gamma.
secretase activity, either directly or indirectly, could control
the production of A.beta.. Advantageously, compounds that
specifically target .gamma. secretases, could control the
production of A.beta.. Such inhibition of .beta. or .gamma.
secretases could thereby reduce production of A.beta., which,
thereby, could reduce or prevent the neurological disorders
associated with A.beta. protein.

The term "APP", as used herein, refers to the protein known in the
art as .beta. amyloid precursor protein. This protein is the
precursor for A.beta. and through the activity of "secretase"
enzymes, as used herein, it is processed into A.beta.. Differing
secretase enzymes, known in the art, have been designated .beta.
secretase, generating the N-terminus of A.beta., .alpha. secretase
cleaving around the 16/17 peptide bond in A.beta., and ".gamma.
secretases", as used herein, generating C-terminal A.beta.
fragments ending at position 38, 39, 40, 42, and 43 or generating
C-terminal extended precursors which are subsequently truncated to
the above polypeptides.
The compounds herein described may have asymmetric centers.
Compounds of the present invention containing an asymmetrically
substituted atom may be isolated in optically active or racemic
forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active
forms, such as by resolution of racemic forms or by synthesis from
optically active starting materials. Many geometric isomers of
olefins, C.dbd.N double bonds, and the like can also be present in
the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are
contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric
isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and
may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric
forms. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms and all geometric
isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless the specific
stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated.
The term "substituted," as used herein, means that any one or more
hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from
the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal
valency is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a
stable compound. When a substituent is keto (i.e. .dbd.O), then 2
hydrogens on the atom are replaced.
When any variable (e.g. R.sup.5b) occurs more than one time in any
constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each
occurrence is independent of its definition at every other
occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be
substituted with 0-2 R.sup.5b, then said group may optionally be
substituted with up to two R.sup.5b groups and R.sup.5b at each
occurrence is selected independently from the definition of
R.sup.5b. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are
permissible only if such combinations result in stable
compounds.
When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting
two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any
atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating
the atom via which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the
compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded
via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents
and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result
in stable compounds.

art and alternate methods must then be used.
Methods for the synthesis of succinylamino lactams are known in the
art and are disclosed in a number of references including PCT
publication number WO 96/29313, which is hereby incorporated by
reference. ##STR39##
Compounds of the present invention can be prepared by an amino acid
coupling procedure. An example of the synthetic method employed to
prepare compounds of the present invention is illustrated in the
amino acid coupling of succinate derivative XI and lactam XII to
give a compound of Formula II as shown in Scheme 1. It is
understood that ring C represents variables R.sup.3 and R.sup.3a of
Formula (I). The cyclic succinate derivative XI can be prepared
from a mono-ester succinate derivative X which can be prepared from
the corresponding diester or acid.
Examples of succinates wherein ring C is a carbocyclic or
heterocyclic system are well known in the literature. For example,
a dimethyl succinate having a 3-membered cyclopropyl ring C can be
formed by a thermal or photolytic decomposition of a methyl
3(carbomethoxymethyl)-1-pyrazoline-3-carboxylate. See Bull. Soc.
Chim. Fr. (1971), (6), 2290-5. A succinic acid derivative wherein
ring C is a 4-membered cyclobutyl group can be formed by the method
published in U.S. Pat. No. 3,828,025. A succinic acid derivative
wherein ring C is a 5-membered cyclopentyl group can be formed
using the methods described in Le Moal, H. et al., Bull. Soc. Chim.
Fr., 1964, 579-584; Borenstein, M. R., et al., Heterocycles, 22,
1984, 2433-2438. Other examples of derivatives of succinate X
wherein ring C is a five-membered cyclopentyl group or a 6-membered
cyclohexyl group have been employed as matrix matalloproteinase
inhibitors. See Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. (1998), 8(12), 1443-1448;
Robinson, R. P., et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. (1996), 6(14),
1719-1724. For the preparation of a succinic acid wherein ring C is
an oxygen containing 3-membered oxirane see Kirshenbaum, K. S.,
Sharpless, K. B., J. Org. Chem. (1985), 50(11), 1979-82. For
examples of succinate derivatives wherein ring C is a 5- or
6-membered heterocycle ring see Olivero, S., Dunach, E., Eur. J.
Org. Chem. (1999), (8), 1885-1891; Eckardt et al. Helv. Chim. Acta,
55, 1972, 2432, 2433, 2434, 2438; Sandoz Ltd., NL 6409801 1963,
Chem. Abstract., 63, 1965, 8324d; and Rice, L. M., et al., J. Med.
Chem., 6, 1963, 388-402. It is understood that these references are
only illustrative of the availability of some carbocyclic and
heterocyclic succinates, however numerous references are known in
literature which provide preparations of other substituted
carbocyclic and heterocyclic succinates and their derivatives.
Scheme 2 illustrates one method for the introduction of a
substitution on a carbon adjacent to the cyclic group in succinate
IX via a deprotonation followed by standard alkylation procedures
known to one skilled in the art. Treatment of IX with a base
followed by addition of an R.sup.5 -LG, wherein LG is a leaving
group such as a halide, mesylate, triflate or a tosylate, and
subsequent deprotection of the benzyl group by hydrogenation
employing, for example, H.sub.2 and Pd/C, would give the desired
succinate X. ##STR40##
An example of a general method whereby diesters of structure IX can
be obtained from cyclic esters XXX is shown in Scheme 2a.
Deprotonation of such esters with, for example LDA or lithium
hexamethyldisilazide, followed by reaction of the resulting ester
enolate with allyl bromide provides allyl esters XXXI, which may be
oxidized using ruthenium peroxide in the presence of sodium
periodate to give free acids XXXII. If desired, esterification may
be carried out using e.g. benzyl bromide in the presence of
potassium carbonate.
Succinate acids such as XXXV with defined stereochemistry may be
prepared from cyclic mono-acids XXXIII by use of a chiral auxiliary
such as an oxazolidinone, as shown in Scheme 2b. Thus, acid XXXIII
may be converted to the oxazolidinone XXXIV and subjected to the
Evans stereospecific alkylation sequence to provide, after removal
of the auxiliary, acid esters XXXV. Suitable alkylating agents
include alkyl, allyl, propenyl or benzyl iodides or triflates, as
is known to those skilled in the art. Use of the appropriate
stereochemistry in the chiral auxiliary can provide substituted
cyclic succinates of either absolute configuration. ##STR41##
##STR42##
An example of a class of compounds compound which can be prepared
according to the general methods described above is shown in Scheme
3. In step 1, cyclopentyl succinate X-a is converted to cyclopentyl
succinamide XI-a. The subsequent amino acid coupling between
succimamide XI-a and a benzodiazepine 11 under standard coupling
conditions known to one skilled in the art would give the product
III.
In the preparation of a compound of Formula I, in some cases it may
be desirable to perform the coupling of an amino lactam and a
succinic acid derivative prior to the amidation of the succinic
acid compound. In Scheme 4 the coupling of a benzodiazepine 11 and
the succinic acid derivative 10 is performed first to give the
coupled product 12. Subsequent conversion of the ester function to
an amide can be done by a deprotection step followed by an amino
acid coupling step using standard coupling conditions to give a
compound 13. ##STR43## ##STR44##
A variation of the coupling procedure of Scheme 4 useful in the
synthesis of compounds of the present invention is illustrated in
Scheme 4a, and involves conversion of the acid ester 10 to the
corresponding HOBt ester using standard procedures, such as
EDC/HOBt. In a separate step, the activated ester XL is allowed to
react with a lactam amine XLI in a suitable solvent, such as DMF,
preferably with warming of the reaction mixture to 40-100.degree.
C. As will be recognized by those skilled in the art, a variety of
procedures for the synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids are
known (see, for example, Peptide Synthesis Protocols, ed. by M. W.
Pennington and B. M. Dunn, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 35,
Humana Press, 1994; and Comprehensive Organic Functional Group
Transformations, ed. by A. R. Katritzky, O. Meth-Cohn, C. W. Rees,
Volume 5, pp 274-281 [P. D. Bailey, I. D. Collier and K. M. Morgan,
Amides], Pergamon, 1995), and the skilled practitioner will adjust
the methods, reagents and conditions to the example at hand.
The methods illustrated above may be modified to prepare cyclic
succinoyl lactams where R5 and R5a comprise a cyclic group as shown
in Scheme 4b. Thus the free acid of succinate esters prepared using
the methods of Schemes 2, 2a or 2b may be suitably protected and
the ester deprotected. Coupling of the free acid with an
aminolactam may be carried out as described, and the remaining
ester group converted to the desired amide. ##STR45##
Compounds of the present invention in which R3 and R3a, and R5 and
R5a comprise two cyclic groups may be prepared from the

Methods for the synthesis of lactams XI of Scheme 1 as contemplated
by the present invention in lactam ring B of Formula (I), including
amino benzodiazepinones, dibenzo azepinones and other related
heterocycles, are known in the art and are disclosed in a number of
references including PCT publication number WO 98/28268, WO
99/66934, and WO 00/07995, which are hereby incorporated by
reference. Additional references include Bock, et al, J. Org.
Chem., 1987, 52, 3232-3239; Sherrill et al, J. Org. Chem., 1995,

and Brown, et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1971, 8, 667-670.
An example of an L-.alpha.-amino-.beta.-thio-.epsilon.-caprolactam,
as shown in Scheme 5, where ring B is the amino lactam of XIII and
J is a sulfur atom has been reported in the literature. See S. A.
Ahmed et al, FEBS Letters, (1984), vol. 174, pages 76-9. One
skilled in the art can extend this methodology to the synthesis of
.beta.-amino and oxygen containing rings by analogy. The
sulfur-containing molecules can also be oxidized to the sulfoxide
and sulfone by methods known to one skilled in the art.
##STR47##
An approach to preparing representative compounds of Formula (I) is
illustrated for caprolactam 20 in Scheme 6. The lactam nitrogen of
intermediate 15 can be alkylated by generating the anion with
bases, such as LDA, lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide or sodium
hydride, in solvents such as THF, with or without cosolvents such
as DMPU or HMPA and reacting this with a variety of groups
containing leaving groups (LG) for example, bromide, iodide,
mesylate or tosylate. Alkylating agents such as alpha-bromo amides,
ketones and acids, if not commercially available, can be prepared
by a number of literature methods including halogenation of amino
acids by diazotization. Other suitable alkylating agents such as
alkyl, allylic and benzylic halides can be formed from a variety of
precursors such as free-radical addition of halides or activation
of alcohols, and other chemistries known to one skilled in the art.
For discussion of these types of reactions, see Carey, F. A . and
Sundberg, R. J., Advanced Organic Chemistry, Part A, New York:
Plenum Press, 1990, pages 304-305, 342-347 and 695-698.
The N-Boc protecting group of caprolactam 16 can be removed by any
number of methods well known in the literature, for example TFA in
methylene chloride, to give the intermediate 17. The amine 17 can
be coupled to an appropriately substituted carboxylic acid X-a,
acid ##STR48##
chloride or other activated acid derivative by methods well
described in the literature for making amide bonds, for example,
TBTU in DMF with a base such as NMM, to give the elaborated
caprolactam 18. Optionally, caprolactam 18 can be alkylated using
standard bases, such as LDA, NaH, or NaHMDS, to deprotonate the
amide hydrogen followed by addition of an alkylating agent with an
appropriate leaving group, such as halide, mesylate, or triflate in
an appropriate solvent to provide an N--R.sup.6 alkylated product
of caprolactam 18. The t-butyl carboxyl protecting group of the
N--R.sup.6 alkylated product of caprolactam 18 can be removed, for
example, by treatment with TFA in methylene chloride to give a
carboxylic acid 19.
The final product 20 can be prepared by treating an activated
carboxylic acid derivative of 19 with an appropriately substituted
amine HNR.sup.1 R.sup.2. For instance, activation of the carboxylic
acid with HATU
(O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3,-tetramethyluronium
hexafluorophosphate) or PyBOP
(benzotriazole-1-yl-oxy-tris-pyrrolidino-phosphonium
hexafluorophosphate) or other coupling agents known to those
skilled in the art allows condensation with ammonia to form primary
amides. Similarly, condensation of the activated acid with
hydroxylamine hydrochloride provides the hydroxamic acid, or
reaction with a primary or secondary amine provides the substituted
amine derivative. For additional acylation reactions see, for
example, Carey, F. A. and Sundberg, R. J., Advanced Organic
Chemistry, Part A, New York: Plenum Press, 1990, pages 475-479.
A different synthetic route to compounds of the present invention
is shown in Scheme 7, step 1-5. In the method of Scheme 7,
cyclization of two succinate substituents is carried out after
coupling of the aminolactam and a suitable succinic acid
derivative. In step 1, the amino lactam XII is coupled to an
appropriately substituted succinate derivative XIV (n is 1, 2 or 3)
or acid chloride by methods well described in the literature for
making amide bonds, for example, TBTU in DMF with a base, for
example, NMM to give the elaborated compound XV. ##STR49##
The protecting group of the carboxyl group can be removed using
standard deprotection methods to provide compound XVI. A subsequent
second amino acid coupling with an amine NHR.sup.1 R.sup.2 provides
compound XVII which undergoes a ring-closing-metathesis to form a
compound of formula IV in the presence of Ruthenium complexes using
the method described by Grubbs and coworkers, J. Am. Chem. Soc.,
114, 7324 (1992). Reduction of the cycloalkene of IV to a compound
of formula V can be done using hydrogen or a hydrogen transfer
reagent with Palladium as a catalyst or other reduction methods
well known in the art.
The compound XIV of Scheme 7 can be prepared by a number of known
procedures. See D. A. Evans et al, Org. Synth. 86, p83 (z1990) and
P. Becket, M. J. Crimmin, M. H. Davis, Z. Spavold, Synlett, (1993),
137-138. The preparation of diastereomerically pure succinate XXI
is outlined in Scheme 8 where acylation of an oxazolidinone with an
acylating agent such as an acid chloride ClCOCH.sub.2 R.sup.5
provides structure XVIII. Alkylation of XVIII with a BrCH.sub.2
CO.sub.2 t-Bu provides XIX followed by cleavage of the chiral
auxiliary to give carboxylic acid XX. Subsequent alkylations of XX
provides a variety of disubstituted succinate XXI which can be
further alkylated to give a compound of formula XIV. ##STR50##
An example of diastereomerically pure succinate derivative XIV
employing a method of Scheme 8 in its preparation is outlined in
Scheme 9, adapted from P. Becket, M. J. Crimmin, M. H. Davis, Z.
Spavold, Synlett, (1993), 137-138 incorporated herein by reference.
This reference provides the synthesis shown below to obtain
compound 24. Additional methods useful for the preparation of
succinate derivatives are known by those skilled in the art. Such
references include McClure and Axt, Bioorganic & Medicinal
Chemistry Letters, 8 (1998) 143-146; Jacobson and Reddy,
Tetrahedron Letters, Vol 37, No. 46, 8263-8266 (1996); Pratt et
al., SYNLETT, May 1998, p. 531; WO 97/18207; and WO 98/51665. The
synthetic disclosures of WO97/18207 and WO 98/51665 are hereby
incorporated by reference. A further alkylation of disubstituted
succinates such as XXI and 24 provides intermediates such as 25
useful as substrates, after esterification, for cyclization
reactions known to one skilled in the art, such as ring closing
metathesis (RCM) reactions using Grubbs' catalyst as illustrated in
Scheme 9. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that
the analogous preparation of other cyclization substrates and the
use of alternative ring forming methodologies will provide access
to carbo- and heterocyclic analogs of intermediates 26 and 27. Such
strategies include oxidative olefin cleavage using, for example,
ozonolysis, followed by reduction to the corresponding diols,
mono-activation with tosyl chloride, and cyclization to oxygen
containing heterocycles using base. Treatment of dialdehydes with
primary amines in the presence of sodium borohydride may be used to
provide analogous nitrogen heterocyclic intermediates useful in the
preparation of nitrogen heterocycles of Formula (I). The use of
cycloalkylidene succinates such as 27 in the preparation of
compounds of Formula (I) is illustrated in Schemes 7 and 10.
##STR51##
The preparation of compounds 32 and 33 using the methods of Scheme
7 is shown in Scheme 10. The succinate product 29 is obtained from
an amino acid coupling of a diallyl succinate 28 with a
benzodiazepine 11 using a standard coupling procedure (HATU, DIEA,
DMF). The carboxyl protecting group BOC is removed in TFA/CH.sub.2
Cl.sub.2 to give a carboxylic acid 30. A second amino acid coupling
of carboxylic acid 30 with ammonia in the presence of HATU and DIEA
in DMF provides a diallyl succinate 31. A ring-closing-metathesis
using a catalytic amount of Cl.sub.2 Ru(PCy3).sub.2 (CHC.sub.6
H.sub.6) as the metal carbene compound gives the cyclized product
32. Compound 33 is obtained from compound 32 by a hydrogen transfer
reduction with Pd(OH).sub.2 /C and 1,4-cyclohexadiene in methanol.
##STR52## ##STR53##
The amide hydrogen of a compound of formula VI can be deprotonated
using standard bases, for example LDA, NaH, or NaHMDS, by addition
of an alkylating agent R.sup.6 -LG wherein LG is an appropriate
leaving group, for example halide, mesylate, or triflate, in an
appropriate solvent to provide a compound of formula VII, see
Scheme 11. A similar synthetic sequence may be applied to protected
intermediate XV, which may then be converted to VII using the
methods described above. ##STR54##

n-BuLi in hexanes to 45 ml (320 mmol) DIPA in 200 ml THF at
-78.degree. C. followed by stirring in an ice bath for 30 minutes.
This was added to a solution of syn-succinate 1 (34.0 g, 126 mmol)
in 100 ml THF at -78.degree. C. to give a clear yellow solution,
which was stirred at that temperature for one hour. A solution of

above solution over 20 minutes, and the resulting yellow solution
was stirred and allowed warm to room temperature overnight. The
reaction mixture was quenched with 50 ml methanol and 50 ml water.
The solvents were evaporated to give a yellow viscous oil which was
taken up in EtOAc (400 ml) and 200 ml 1.0N HCl. The organic layer
was washed with 100 ml 1.0N HCl, and brine and dried over sodium
sulfate. The solution was concentrated to give 2 as a slightly

To a solution of 2 (34.2 g, 110 mmol) in 400 ml acetone was added
potassium carbonate (28.0 g, 200 mmol) and benzyl bromide (28.0 g,
163 mmol). The solution was heated to reflux for 2 hours.
Evaporation of the solvent gave a yellow oil which was taken up in
EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried

2-ylidene]benzylidine]ruthenium (IV) dichloride 200 mg (0.24 mmol).
The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 hrs at 100.degree. C., then
evaporated to give a dark oil which was purified by chromatography
on silica gel with EtOAc:hexane (5:95) to give 4 as a yellow oil

mixture was stirred at RT for 30 minutes. Triethylamine (0.2 ml,
1.4 mmol) was added, followed by 4 (2.8 g, 7.5 mmol) in 10 ml of
methylene chloride. The mixture was stirred at RT overnight,
filtered through a short silica gel column, then concentrated to
give 5 as a colorless oil which was used without further

added triethylamine (2.0 ml, 14.3 mmol),
1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide HCl (EDC, 2.2 g, 11.5

The mixture was stirred for 4 hours. The solvents were removed
under reduced pressure and the resulting oil was taken up in EtOAc
and water. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, then
dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification by flash
chromatography on silica gel with EtOAc:hexane (10:90) gave 6 (1.95

Preparation of Compound 25, Scheme 23
A 3 L 3N round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirring
apparatus was charged with 24 (32 g, 78 mmol) and anhydrous THF
(155 mL). The reaction was cooled to -60.degree. C. and treated
with 1 M LiHMDS in hexanes (78 mL, 78 mmol). The reaction was
warmed to -20.degree. C. and stirred for an 4 h.
To a 1 L 3N round bottom flask was added hexane (516 mL),
2,6-lutidine (38 mL, 326 mmol) and methallyl alcohol (26 mL, 311
mmol). The solution was stirred vigorously using a mechanical
stirring apparatus. The solution was cooled to -20.degree. C. and
treated with Tf.sub.2 O (52 mL, 311 mmol). During the addition of
Tf.sub.2 O, a white solid precipitated from the solution. After 1
h, the contents of the flask were poured into a Buchner funnel and
transferred to a pre-cooled (-40.degree. C.) 1000 mL round bottom
flask. The solution was carefully transferred to the main reaction
via cannula. Stirring was continued for 18 h at -20.degree. C.
The reaction was poured into a stirred solution of NH.sub.4 Cl
(1000 mL). The layers were separated. The aqueous layer was
extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were combined, washed with
10% aq. citric acid (400 mL) and brine (400 mL). The organic layer
was dried over MgSO.sub.4 and filtered. The solvents were removed
under reduced pressure to afford 25 (28 g, 87%) as viscous oil:
.sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 7.41-7.15 (m, 10 H), 5.15 (s, 2

J=13.4, 3.1 Hz, 1 H), 2.67 (dd, J=13.5, 11.9 Hz, 1 H), 2.54 (dd,
J=13.3, 10.2 Hz, 1 H), 2.25 (m, 2 H), 1.80-1.49 (m, 11 H).
Preparation of Compound 26, Scheme 23
To 24 (80 mg, 0.17 mmol) in 2:1 DME-H.sub.2 O (3 mL) was added 30%
wt H.sub.2 O.sub.2 (104 .mu.L) and then LiOH.H.sub.2 O (14 mg, 0.34
mmol) in H.sub.2 O (0.3 mL). The reaction was stirred for 72 h at
rt. To the solution was added 30% NaHSO.sub.3 (0.5 mL). The
reaction was diluted with NH.sub.4 Cl (20 mL) and extracted with
EtOAc (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO.sub.4 and
filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude
material was purified by column chromatography (50% ethyl acetate
in hexanes) to provide 26 (22 mg, 41%) as a clear, viscous oil:
.sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 7.35 (m, 5 H), 5.14 (m, 2 H),

Utility
A.beta. production has been implicated in the pathology of
Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The compounds of the present invention
have utility for the prevention and treatment of AD by inhibiting
A.beta. production. Methods of treatment target formation of
A.beta. production through the enzymes involved in the proteolytic
processing of .beta. amyloid precursor protein. Compounds that
inhibit .beta. or .gamma. secretase activity, either directly or
indirectly, control the production of A.beta.. Such inhibition of
.beta. or .gamma. secretases reduces production of A.beta., and is
expected to reduce or prevent the neurological disorders associated
with A.beta. protein, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
Cellular screening methods for inhibitors of A.beta. production,
testing methods for the in vivo suppression of A.beta. production,
and assays for the detection of secretase activity are known in the
art and have been disclosed in numerous publications, including
J.Med.Chem. 1999, 42, 3889-3898, PCT publication number WO
98/22493, EPO publication number 0652009, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,703,129
and 5,593,846; all hereby incorporated by reference.
The compounds of the present invention have utility for the
prevention and treatment of disorders involving A.beta. production,
such as cerebrovascular disorders.
Compounds of Formula (I) are expected to possess .gamma.-secretase
inhibitory activity. The .gamma.-secretase inhibitory activity of
the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated using assays
for such activity, for example, using the assay described below.
Compounds of the present invention have been shown to inhibit the
activity of .gamma.-secretase, as determined by the A.beta.
immunoprecipitation assay.
Compounds provided by this invention should also be useful as
standards and reagents in determining the ability of a potential
pharmaceutical to inhibit A.beta. production. These would be
provided in commercial kits comprising a compound of this
invention.
As used herein ".mu.g" denotes microgram, "mg" denotes milligram,
"g" denotes gram, ".mu.L" denotes microliter, "mL" denotes
milliliter, "L" denotes liter, "nM" denotes nanomolar, ".mu.M"
denotes micromolar, "mM" denotes millimolar, "M" denotes molar,
"nm" denotes nanometer, "SDS" denotes sodium dodecyl sulfate, and
"DMSO" denotes dimethyl sulfoxide, and "EDTA" denotes
ethylenediaminetetraacetato.
A compound is considered to be active if it has an IC.sub.50 or
K.sub.i value of less than about 100 .mu.M for the inhibition of
A.beta. production. Preferrably the IC.sub.50 or K.sub.i value is
less than about 10 .mu.M; more preferrably the IC.sub.50 or K.sub.i
value is less than about 0.1 .mu.M. Compounds of the present
invention have been shown to inhibit A.beta. protein production
with an IC.sub.50 or K.sub.i value of less than 100 .mu.M.
.beta. Amyloid Precursor Protein Accumulation Assay
A novel assay to evaluate the accumulation of A.beta. protein was
developed to detect potential inhibitors of secretase. The assay
uses the N 9 cell line, characterized for expression of exogenous
APP by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.
The effect of test compounds on the accumulation of A.beta. in the
conditioned medium is tested by immunoprecipitation. Briefly, N 9
cells are grown to confluency in 6-well plates and washed twice
with 1.times.Hank's buffered salt solution. The cells are starved
in methionine/cysteine deficient media for 30 min, followed by
replacement with fresh deficient media containing 150 uCi S35
Translabel (Amersham). Test compounds dissolved in DMSO (final
concentration 1%) are added together with the addition of
radiolabel. The cells are incubated for 4 h at 37.degree. C. in a
tissue culture incubator.
At the end of the incubation period, the conditioned medium is
harvested and pre-cleared by the addition of 5 .mu.l normal mouse
serum and 50 ul of protein A Sepharose (Pharmacia), mixed by
end-over-end rotation for 30 minutes at 4.degree. C., followed by a
brief centrifugation in a microfuge. The supernatant is then
harvested and transferred to fresh tubes containing 5 ug of a
monoclonal antibody (clone 1101.1; directed against an internal
peptide sequence in A.beta.) and 50 .mu.l protein A Sepharose.
After incubation overnight at 4.degree. C., the samples are washed
three times with high salt washing buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 500
mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5% Nonidet P-40), three times with low salt
wash buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5%
Nonidet P-40), and three times with 10 mM Tris, pH 7.5. The pellet
after the last wash is resuspended in SDS sample buffer (Laemmli,
1970) and boiled for 3 minutes. The supernatant is then
fractionated on either 10-20% Tris/Tricine SDS gels or on 16.5%
Tris/Tricine SDS gels. The gels are dried and exposed to X-ray film
or analyzed by phosphorimaging. The resulting image is analyzed for
the presence of A.beta. polypeptides. The steady-state level of
A.beta. in the presence of a test compound is compared to wells
treated with DMSO (1%) alone. A typical test compound blocks
A.beta. accumulation in the conditioned medium, and is therefore
considered active, with an IC.sub.50 less than 100 .mu.M.
C-Terminus .beta. Amyloid Precursor Protein Accumulation Assay
The effect of test compounds on the accumulation of C-terminal
fragments is determined by immunoprecipitation of APP and fragments
thereof from cell lysates. N 9 cells are metabolically labeled as
above in the presence or absence of test compounds. At the end of
the incubation period, the conditioned medium are harvested and
cells lysed in RIPA buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 8.0 containing 1% Triton
X-100, 1% deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 0.125% NaN.sub.3).
Again, lysates are precleared with 5 ul normal rabbit serum/50 ul
protein A Sepharose, followed by the addition of BC-1 antiserum (15
.mu.l;) and 50 .mu.l protein A Sepharose for 16 hours at 4.degree.
C. The immunoprecipitates are washed as above, bound proteins
eluted by boiling in SDS sample buffer and fractionated by
Tris/Tricine SDS-PAGE. After exposure to X-ray film or
phosphorimager, the resulting images are analyzed for the presence
of C-terminal APP fragments. The steady-state level of C-terminal
APP fragments is compared to wells treated with DMSO (1%) alone. A
typical test compound stimulates C-terminal fragment accumulation
in the cell lysates, and is therefore considered active, with an
IC.sub.50 less than 100 .mu.M.
A.beta. Immunoprecipitation Assay
This immunoprecipitation assay is specific for .gamma. secretase
(i.e., proteolytic activity required to generate the C-terminal end
of A.beta. either by direct cleavage or generating a C-terminal
extended species which is subsequently further proteolyzed). N 9
cells are pulse labeled in the presence of a reported .gamma.
secretase inhibitor (MDL 28170) for 1 h, followed by washing to
remove radiolabel and MDL 28170. The media is replaced and test
compounds are added. The cells are chased for increasing periods of
times and A .beta. is isolated from the conditioned medium and
C-terminal fragments from cell lysates (see above). The test
compounds are characterized whether a stabilization of C-terminal
fragments is observed and whether A.beta. is generated from these
accumulated precursor. A typical test compound prevents the
generation of A.beta. out of accumulated C-terminal fragments and
is considered active with an IC.sub.50 less than 100 .mu.M.
Dosage and Formulation
The compounds of the present invention can be administered orally
using any pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form known in the art
for such administration. The active ingredient can be supplied in
solid dosage forms such as dry powders, granules, tablets or
capsules, or in liquid dosage forms, such as syrups or aqueous
suspensions. The active ingredient can be administered alone, but
is generally administered with a pharmaceutical carrier. A valuable
treatise with respect to pharmaceutical dosage forms is Remington's
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered in such
oral dosage forms as tablets, capsules (each of which includes
sustained release or timed release formulations), pills, powders,
granules, elixirs, tinctures, suspensions, syrups, and emulsions.
Likewise, they may also be administered in intravenous (bolus or
infusion), intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, or intramuscular form,
all using dosage forms well known to those of ordinary skill in the
pharmaceutical arts. An effective but non-toxic amount of the
compound desired can be employed to prevent or treat neurological
disorders related to .beta.-amyloid production or accumulation,
such as Alzheimer's disease and Down's Syndrome.
The compounds of this invention can be administered by any means
that produces contact of the active agent with the agent's site of
action in the body of a host, such as a human or a mammal. They can
be administered by any conventional means available for use in
conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic
agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents. They can be
administered alone, but generally administered with a
pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of
administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
The dosage regimen for the compounds of the present invention will,
of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as the
pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its
mode and route of administration; the species, age, sex, health,
medical condition, and weight of the recipient; the nature and
extent of the symptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the
frequency of treatment; the route of administration, the renal and
hepatic function of the patient,and the effect desired. An
ordinarily skilled physician or veterinarian can readily determine
and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required to prevent,
counter, or arrest the progress of the condition.
Advantageously, compounds of the present invention may be
administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may
be administered in divided doses of two, three, or four times
daily.
The compounds for the present invention can be administered in
intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or
via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin
patches wall known to those of ordinary skill in that art. To be
administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the
dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than
intermittant throughout the dosage regimen.
In the methods of the present invention, the compounds herein
described in detail can form the active ingredient, and are
typically administered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical
diluents, excipients, or carriers (collectively referred to herein
as carrier materials) suitably selected with respect to the
intended form of administration, that is, oral tablets, capsules,
elixirs, syrups and the like, and consistent with conventional
pharmaceutical practices.
For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or
capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral,
non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable, inert carrier such as
lactose, starch, sucrose, glucose, methyl callulose, magnesium
stearate, dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, mannitol, sorbitol
and the like; for oral administration in liquid form, the oral drug
components can be combined with any oral, non-toxic,
pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol,
glycerol, water, and the like. Moreover, when desired or necessary,
suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring
agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders
include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or
.beta.-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as
acacia, tragacanth, or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose,
polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. Lubricants used in these
dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium
stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the
like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl
cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like.
The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in
the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar
vesicles, large unilamallar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles.
Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as
cholesterol, stearylamine, or phosphatidylcholines.
Compounds of the present invention may also be coupled with soluble
polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include
polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer,
polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide-phenol,
polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxide-polylysine
substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds of
the present invention may be coupled to a class of biodegradable
polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for
example, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, copolymers of
polylactic and polyglycolic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone,
polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals,
polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacylates, and crosslinked or
amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.
Gelatin capsules may contain the active ingredient and powdered
carriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium
stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used
to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be
manufactured as sustained release products to provide for
continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed
tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant
taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated
for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract. Liquid
dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and
flavoring to increase patient acceptance. In general, water, a
suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar
solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene
glycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions
for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble
salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if
necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium
bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or
combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric
acid. and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral
solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride,
methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol.
Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, a standard
reference text in this field.
